This autumn has been an exciting time for MEMOTEXT. In September our Founder and President Amos Adler had the opportunity to be a main stage speaker at Stanford Medicine X 2015. Presenting the abstract: “Using Disparate Data to Personalize Digital Health Behavior Change Interventions” Amos rocked the crowd explaining the MEMOTEXT methodology. He had a fantastic time at the event and the “Cat pics + health data = behavior change” line got a substantial amount of press coverage.

Using digital engagement to increase medication adherence is our novel solution to a complex problem. With non-adherence caused by multiple factors unique to each individual patient, a-one-size-fits-all-solution can’t work and won’t work. Instead, at MEMOTEXT we personalize each patient’s support program. By encouraging patient input, adapting to changes in mood and lifestyle, we can develop a medication adherence and support program that works best.

So I’m currently suffering from what’s known as #MedXHangover. Its real, I assure you. Fortunately I don’t have #SyndromeX, a condition associated with attending uncomfortable doctor-patient simulations to simulate uncomfortable doctor-patient interactions.

As the Director of Scientific Development for MEMOTEXT I am honoured to have been invited to speak at this year’s Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA) annual conference. The 2015 conference runs from Annual Conference October 1st – 3rd in Vancouver, British Columbia. I will be speaking at the “A clinician’s guide to mental health apps.” symposium on Thursday, October 1st at 10:15 PST. The focus of my contribution will be on mHealth and its capacity to affect positive behavioural change.

We’ve just got back from the awesomeness that was Health Datapalooza 2015! Where to start? #HDP was 3 days of some of the most enthusiastic and exciting health data conversations we’ve had in years. With D.C.’s Marriott Wardman Park packed with digital health nerds, it was almost non-stop presentations, demonstrations and general health data game-on.

Next week marks the start of one of the biggest and most exciting events in the digital and mHealth space: Health Datapalooza 2015. Health Datapalooza was launched in 2010, as a multidisciplinary forum on how to best utilize health data and information technology. But as the importance of Digital and mHealth ballooned over the past 5 years, so has Health Datapalooza. This year, 2,400 people are expected to attend the 4 day showcase of the latest in healthcare technology innovation.
